EDITORS COMMENTS
The powerful image captures the heart-wrenching moment of the Parting of Patrick Hamilton from his friends at the stake. Illustrated by an anonymous 19th-century English artist, this engraving is a poignant depiction from The History of Protestantism by James Aitken Wylie. Patrick Hamilton, a Scottish churchman and early Protestant Reformer in Scotland, faced religious persecution for his beliefs. Tried as a heretic by Archbishop James Beaton, he was condemned to be burned at the stake in St Andrews. As flames engulfed him, Hamilton's loyal supporters gathered around him one last time to bid farewell. In this scene, we witness the profound bond between Hamilton and his friends who stood steadfastly beside him until the very end. Their faces etched with sorrow and determination reflect their unwavering support for their fallen comrade. The illustration not only commemorates Hamilton's martyrdom but also symbolizes the broader struggle faced by Protestants during that era of religious turmoil. It serves as a reminder of those who sacrificed everything for their faith and played significant roles in shaping the Protestant Reformation. This print from The Stapleton Collection evokes emotions ranging from grief to admiration as it transports us back to a dark chapter in history when individuals like Patrick Hamilton bravely challenged established norms despite facing dire consequences.
